Effect of installing a screen filter in front of and behind a pump on filtering performance in a microirrigation system

The installation location (prepump and postpump) of the filter influences both the head loss and the filtering effectiveness. To understand the difference in the influence, we take the screen filter as the research object, set up two filtration methods and five fertilizer concentrations and then use...

Zusammenfassung:The installation location (prepump and postpump) of the filter influences both the head loss and the filtering effectiveness. To understand the difference in the influence, we take the screen filter as the research object, set up two filtration methods and five fertilizer concentrations and then use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulations and experiments to compare and analyse the head loss, intercepted volume, particle size and gradation of intercepted impurities of the filter. We also develop calculation methods for the head loss. Our study shows that (1) when the water is clear, the flow velocity in the local upstream surface of the filter under prepump filtration (PRPF) is larger and changes more dramatically. The head loss under PRPF increases by 50%–88% compared to postpump filtration (POPF). (2) When the fertilized solution is applied, more fine particles pass through the filter under PRPF compared to POPF influenced by pump suction, the maximum head loss is reduced by 15%, and the interception volume is reduced by 55%. It follows that fewer fine particles are intercepted. (3) We develop fitting equations for the two filtration methods that reflect the relationship between the head loss and two factors, the relative effective water‐crossing area and the fertilizer concentrations, and R2 > 0.83. The study provides a reference for the installation and utilization of filters in microirrigation systems. Résumé L'emplacement de l'installation (pré‐pompe et post‐pompe) du filtre influence à la fois la perte de charge et l'efficacité de la filtration. Pour comprendre la différence d'influence, nous prenons le filtre à crible comme objet de recherche, nous mettons en place deux méthodes de filtration et cinq concentrations d'engrais, puis nous utilisons des simulations numériques CFD et des expériences pour comparer et analyser la perte de charge, le volume intercepté, la taille des particules et la gradation des impuretés interceptées du filtre. Nous développons également des méthodes de calcul de la perte de charge. Notre étude montre que: (1) Lorsque l'eau est claire, la vitesse d'écoulement dans la surface locale en amont du filtre sous filtration en pré‐pompe est plus importante et change de façon plus spectaculaire. La perte de charge sous filtration pré‐pompe augmente de 50% à 88% par rapport à la filtration post‐pompe. (2) Lorsque la solution fertilisée est appliquée, par rapport à la filtration post‐pompe, influencée par l'aspirati
